I dyed a roll of bleached cotton fabric with indigo. ☆ Approximately 34cm wide x 5 meters ☆ Indigo dyeing with shibori (tie-dye) ☆ Bleached cotton 240g (half roll) This is a firmer bleached cotton, about 50g heavier than what I usually dye. It exceeds the size limit for Yu-Packet shipping, so it's being sold as a half roll. Hand-dyeing (indigo, persimmon tannin, and plant dyeing) results in completely different colors depending on the season, time, weather, dyeing materials, the dyer, and the mordant. Also, it is sensitive to friction and chemicals like bleach. Hand washing or net washing with a neutral detergent is recommended. Please read the following only if applicable: ☆ Indigo Dyeing Since it's freshly dyed, the water may turn blue for the first one or two washes. This is due to excess indigo on the surface washing off, and it's different from fading that occurs in the fabric itself. There's no need to worry about color transfer to other items, but it's even better to wash it before use. ☆ Plant Dyeing My plant dyeing primarily uses a primitive method of collecting plants and repeatedly boiling and dyeing them. However, for plants not available in Japan, such as redwood and brazilwood, I use concentrated liquid dyes. The colors often vary each time. Plant residue and fibers may be attached, but they are harmless, so please understand. ☆ Persimmon Tannin Dyeing Persimmon tannin dyeing develops color through exposure to sunlight and wind during the drying process. I dye it repeatedly by kneading the dye solution in once a day and drying it in the sun. Due to its characteristics, the finish has a crisp, starched-like feel. × Iron: The black characteristics are brought out by contact with iron, creating a tannin effect. Plus, heat is applied, so the crispness is slightly softened. The color also gradually develops and deepens, and I hope you enjoy the process of change.
